If Rich decides to make no payments during the 4.5 years, the interest will be capitalized at the end of that period.
a. What will the new principal be when he begins making loan payments?
b. How much interest will he pay over the life of the loan?
Suppose that Rich had decided to apply for a private loan rather than a federal
loan. He is considering a 10-year loan with an interest rate of 5.9%.
a. Determine his monthly payment.
b. What is the total amount he will pay back?
c. What is the total interest amount?

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
